Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Trambiyo - Vibhaji ND (1852-1895) coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Trambiyo, a mythical creature that is said to have the body of a lion and the head of an elephant, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Victoria Empress, a symbol of British colonial rule in India. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the time period in which the coin was minted.
